Always use either the rip fence or the miter
gauge to position and guide the workpiece.
“Freehand’ means using your hands to support
or guide the workpiece, in lieu of a rip fence
or miter gauge. Freehand sawing leads to
misalignment, binding and kickback.

Kickback is a sudden reaction of the workpiece due
to a pinched, jammed saw blade or misaligned line
of cut in the workpiece with respect to the saw blade
or when a part of the workpiece binds between the
saw blade and the ("/%2*84* or other fixed object.
Most frequently during X"4X+,4X, the workpiece is
lifted from the table by the rear portion of the saw
blade and is propelled towards the operator.
Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or incorrect
operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided
by taking proper precautions as given below.
